Good morning β here's my quick read on gold and silver for 19 August 2026.
In short (19 August 2026): 24K gold is around βΉ1,54,150/10g and 22K around βΉ1,41,300/10g; silver is about βΉ2,32,300/kg. Gold slipped back below the $4,400 mark and India rates eased about 1% as US bond yields stayed firm and buyers waited for tonight's US Fed minutes β a sideways-to-soft read for now. These are indicative India reference levels β AT Jewels' live counter rate is the billing price.

What is moving the market this week
Gold has cooled off its recent highs. Overnight it slipped back below the $4,400 an ounce mark (to about $4,337) as US Treasury yields held near multi-year highs and the dollar stayed on the softer side β that pushed India's 24K rate down roughly 1% from yesterday. The bigger event is still ahead: tonight the US Federal Reserve releases the minutes of its last meeting, and traders want to see how split the committee is on interest rates before taking a strong view either way.
Silver had a heavier day, easing nearly 3% and lagging gold, weighed down by signs that industrial and China-linked demand is cooling at these high levels. The rupee stayed steady near βΉ95.7 to the dollar, so most of today's move came from global prices rather than the currency.
The near-term view
My plain read is sideways-to-soft in the very short term for both metals β gold has stepped back from its highs and is drifting, and silver is choppy with no clear direction until tonight's Fed minutes give the market a fresh cue. For 24K, a light near-term range of roughly βΉ1,52,500β1,55,500 per 10g looks reasonable, but a single headline can shift that. If you're buying for a wedding or a festival, a small pullback like this is usually a chance to buy by your need and your date, in parts β rather than chasing a green day or waiting for a perfect bottom that nobody can time. This is a directional read for buyers, not trading advice.
